It's World Health Day! Medsy free for 24 hours.

I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that version 1.5.3 of Medsy has just been approved by Apple and is now live on the App Store.

This version adds iPod Touch support, and notifications are now local (not push), therefore independent of WiFi or mobile network reception.

It can be downloaded at:

Thanks for your interest in Medsy and feel free to visit our Get Satisfaction page (http://medsyapp.com/support) for support.

Eh, newsflash. There is no App called Medsy in the App store. I tried checking from my iPad and nothing there.

Hi guys,

I have edited the article as Bob Page mentioned above. The thinking behind Medsy not allowing the app on an iPod touch is because they are serious about helping people remember to take their meds. Unfortunately there's no way to get Push on an iPod touch when not in a WiFi zone and they want to be able to provide constant "anywhere" reminders for people to take their meds.

Thanks for ready and commenting!

I suppose this app could have value if you were taking a lot of different medicines at various times of the day, but for just a few, it doesn't have much usefulness. And the slider for setting the timers is almost impossible to use accurately. I can only imaging how difficult it would be if you were older and your motor skills and vision were worse.

For the record:
The copy has been re-edited. As Josh pointed out it originally said: "Medsy is only available on the iPhone as the iPod touch will not support Push notifications." They've now added: "... when not on a WiFi network."

Sounds like a great app - now if we could just get my 87 year old father in law to buy (and use) an iPhone.

Umm, the iPod touch supports push notifications... where'd they get their info?
